freaky. herbie used to be the man. he's done it all from traditional jazz to electronic experimentation. "secrets" is a super-funky album, frequently sampled by many. "future shock" is an electro classic. "headhunters" ... the list just goes on and on. the guy is a genius. the last album i heard from him is "this is the drum" which has a little bit of commercial cheese but also a lot of very nice programming and playing. i can't believe anyone would lump him in with kenny g. on now: "fifth element" soundtrack -- Jon Drukman jsd@gamespot.com SpotMedia Communications How the drunk and the maimed both are dragged forward out of the arena like a boneless Christ, one man under each arm, feet dragging, eyes on the aether.
